Bug Reports - Version 7.1

[Mathias]

When we're this late on Ultimate Equipment, would you rather we delayed that project by many days more in order to clear out the bug reports?

In my experience, it's more efficient to deal with bug reports in batches than to pause whatever other project I'm working on in order to fix a bug that's just been posted, and that applies to testing the reports, too. Sometimes, a report depends on a very specific set of circumstances on the character, which means they take a long time to study before we can verify that it is a bug or not. I think it's simpler to just study them during the fixing process - if you find there's something wrong, you can work on fixing it from there, and if not, you can start investigating what was misunderstood.

Would you like to see us reply "Thanks for reporting this, I've added it to the to-do list" to every post here, meaning this thread increases to 46 pages, instead of the current 23? If I see that something is obviously a rules misunderstanding or that a person isn't finding something that's already in Hero Lab, I do try to reply to those items soon after they're posted, but I don't see the point in replying to every bug report that doesn't fall into those categories, since the replies would start to look like an automated script. Once a report has been posted here, it's in the queue, and they'll be dealt with once we have the time to deal with them.

If your post is moved into the bug reports thread, it is a bug, or at a minimum, it's something I can't figure out quickly, and is worthy of further study.

In terms of posts getting lost inside the bug reports thread, take a look at page 2 of this forum. The posts there are only three days old. That's why we keep a single bug reports thread - posts move down so quickly, since there are so many other posts coming in, that if a bug report post was outside the bug reports thread, it could easily be lost on page 10 or 20 by the time we got to dealing with the bug reports - and that's when we're caught up on bug reports. Right now, while we're dealing with Paizo's late summer burst of large books, some of the posts in this thread would probably be on page 40 or 60 by now if they hadn't been moved in here.

When we do have time to deal with reports, we'll be going through them in order, so they're not going to get lost. Your original post in this thread is #149, I see.

That is the key point there. I had no idea about that, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

The Multi-Armed trait states that it can only be taken by races with more than 20 Race points. However when I select the Monstrous Custom Race option (allowing for >20 Race points), it still grays/reds out the Multi-Armed trait. Am I doing something wrong/missing something, or is it a bug?



Upon further examination, this problem seems to happen with anything marked that it's for Monstrous Races, as the Multi-Armed is.

Missing a "Coven" spell list for when Hags, witchfires and the like from a coven. When you put three hags in, they should form some sort of coven and another list of spells pop up and able to put in to use as a GM. Maybe some sort of clicky on the In play tab?

I added a Basterd Sword as a one handed weapon with a shield for my Fighter. It still shows red as the fighter not having the Exotic Weapon Feat. Yet the discription both in the core rule book and in your own product shows that if used one handed it is just a martial weapon.

Shouldn't it not show red unless I mark it being used two handed?

Please re-read the text. What it says is:

"A character can use a bastard sword two-handed as a martial weapon". You're saying the opposite - that it's a martial weapon while one-handed.

Yep I missread the core rulebook then once I locked it in my head I kept reading it wrong. Sorry. Feel free to delete my silly post.

And the size of your synthesist is?

Are you wielding any manufactured weapons?
